Descripción
Second edition, 8vo (215 x 140 mm), xv, [1], 332 pp., with half-title, 11 plates (foxed as usual) with an accompanying leaf of explanatory text to each, contemporary calf, rubbed, re-backed, original leather label laid-down. Joseph Fox, the prominent English dentist in 1803, invented a metallic filling material to be put into a cavity in a tooth in liquid form which when it cooled would solidify to the exact shape of the cavity. He referred to it as "Fusible Metal". However, it was Thomas Bell who conceived the idea of mixing coin silver filings with mercury to make an amalgam filling material that would be soft during insertion and harden very quickly.
